A Solid Series That Has One Flaw
This series was super solid with a well-developed plot. The acting by the leads and support cast was great and really delivered. I enjoyed its playful take on the transmigration genre—especially when they just invented guns, which I just kept laughing about to the end like "Ha, you brought a knife to a gun fight?!"
There is only 1 flaw for me. Which is: Is Zhang San okay? After learning that this guy was trapped in the novel for over 10 years, on hell mode, since he was a CHILD, basically tortured and alone for so long, I NEEDED more than the ending we got. I needed to know, unambiguously, that he returned to his time and got to live out his childhood and grow up normally or SOMETHING. The happy marriage sequence with the novel characters is romantic and all but those facts had me stressed AF about him in the real world. Like, would he return to his time? Or would he, like, wake up from a coma? Would it feel like a dream? Would he need therapy for like 800 years? Because I feel like I would!!! I mean, talk about childhood trauma. I needed to know that he would be okay. I'm being somewhat facetious here, but my fragile emotions could have used the last 1 or 2 episodes wrapping up the real world side a bit more because I needed to know more than just their characters meeting outside the novel.
But yeah, anyway, great series!!!! I swear I'm totally carefree on the inside!!!! 🫣
